Colossal Biosciences speeds up effort to bring back the dodo
Original: Colossal Accelerates the Full Dodo De-extinction Pipeline
Biotech company Colossal Biosciences says it is accelerating its project to resurrect the dodo, the flightless bird that went extinct in the late 17th century. The company is pushing forward a full de-extinction pipeline spanning genetic sequencing, editing and surrogate development. The dodo joins Colossal's better-known efforts on the woolly mammoth and the thylacine, keeping de-extinction science in the headlines.
Why now: Colossal's de-extinction projects regularly draw attention, and progress on the dodo pipeline is newsworthy for both science and conservation audiences.
